“…Antenatal depression is reported to be linked with postnatal depression and negative breastfeeding experience (Abou Nazel &Nosseir ,1994). Also, prenatal depression symptoms were found not to affect initiation of breastfeeding (Jennifer et al,2006). Studies differ by our study due to their inclusion of postpartum period.…”

Introduction and Objective: Self-efficacyperception is one of the factors that affect breastfeeding attitude and breastfeeding success. Breastfeeding self-efficacy perception is associated with some psychological problems. Especially, the anxiety and depression women get through during pregnancy can affect postpartum breasfeeding attitude negatively. In this context, research has been conducted to determine anxiety and depression's effect on breastfeeding self-efficacy perception and breastfeeding attitude of pregnant women. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, sampleselection was notmadeto be able to reach out entire universe. The sample is consisted of 400 healthy pregnant women presented to Cumhuriyet University Health Services Research Hospital pregnancy clinic between1 January 2015 and 15 February 2015. Data were collected by using Introductory Information Form, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form and Breastfeeding Attitude Scale. In the evaluation process of the data, average, standard deviation, percentage and variance analysis, significance test for the difference between the two averages, Chi-square test and Pearson correlation analysis were used. Statistical significance was determined as p<0.05. Results: Theaverage age of pregnant women is 27±5.57.23.2% of pregnant women are high school graduates, 17.8% of them are working, 65.2% of them live in the city center, 81.5% of them have a planned pregnancy, 50.0% of them are in the third trimester of pregnancy and 31.8% of them are having their first pregnancy. 98.8% of pregnant women are planning to breastfeed their babies, 76.2% of them are planning to feed their babies with only breastmilk for the first six months and 82.8% of them are planning to breastfeed their babies until they are 2 years old. 35.0% of pregnant women get information about breastfeeding, 27.8% of them reported that they received this information from a midwife. 99.2% of pregnant women think that breastfeeding is beneficial for the baby, 94.5% of them think it is beneficial for themselves, 45.8% of them stated that they intend to use pacifiers, 49.5% of them stated that they intend to use the bottle. BAI average of pregnant women is 11.15±7.86, BDI average of them is 9.18±5.90, breastfeeding self-efficacy scale average of them is 59.84±8.26 and breastfeeding attitude scale average score is 115.62±12.22. Conclusion: It is thought that determining anxiety and depression's effect on breastfeeding self-efficacy perception and breastfeeding attitude of pregnant women will contribute to mother-infant health.

“…This suggests that mothers who suffer postpartum depression can lose their confidence in their maternal role and not perceive the benefits of breastfeeding 38 . According to Pippins et al 11 , further research is needed to understand the most relevant and persistent symptoms before or during pregnancy that are associated with the decision to breastfeed.…”

Symptoms of postpartum depression and early interruption of exclusive breastfeeding in the first two months of life

2008

This study evaluates the association between postpartum depression and interruption of exclusive breastfeeding in the first two months of life. Cohort study of 429 infants < 20 days of age to four primary health care units in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Interruption of exclusive breastfeeding (outcome) was defined as the introduction of water, other types of liquids, milk, or formulas or any food. Postpartum depression was assessed using the Edinburgh Post-Natal Depression Scale. Associations between variables were expressed as prevalence ratios (baseline) and risk ratios (follow-up), with their respective 95% confidence intervals, estimated by Poisson regression with robust variance. Children of mothers with postpartum depressive symptoms were at higher risk of early interruption of exclusive breastfeeding in the first and second months of follow-up (RR = 1.46; 95%CI: 0.98-2.17 and RR = 1.21; 95%CI: 1.02-1.45, respectively). Considering mothers that were exclusively breastfeeding at the first month, postpartum depression was not associated with interruption of exclusive breastfeeding in the second month (RR = 1.44; 95%CI: 0.68-3.06). The results indicate the importance of maternal mental health for the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

“…Epidemiological studies show that as many as 10-20% of mothers develop depression during the first few weeks after birth (Miller 2002;Muzik et al 2009) that often resolves by 6-12 months postpartum (Cox et al 1993). Postpartum depression is associated with greater risk of parenting problems (Field 2010;Lovejoy et al 2000;Paulson et al 2006), with negative consequences for cognitive, emotional and behavioral development of the infant (Grace et al 2003;Murray & Cooper 1997;Ward 1991) and also with reduced duration or likelihood of breastfeeding (Hatton et al 2005;Pippins et al 2006;Seimyr et al 2004;Taveras et al 2003).…”

Mothers vary in duration of breastfeeding. These individual differences are related to a variety of demographic and individual maternal factors including maternal hormones, mood and early experiences. However, little is known about the role of genetic factors. We studied single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the OXT peptide gene (rs2740210; rs4813627) and the OXT receptor gene (OXTR rs237885) in two samples of mothers from the Maternal adversity, Vulnerability and Neurodevelopment study (MAVAN), a multicenter (Hamilton and Montreal, Canada) study following mothers and their children from pregnancy until 7 years of age. Data from the Hamilton site was the primary sample (n = 201) and data from Montreal was the replication sample (n = 151). Breastfeeding duration, maternal mood (measured by the CES-D scale) and early life adversity (measured by the CTQ scale) were established during 12 months postpartum. In our primary sample, polymorphisms in OXT rs2740210, but not the other SNPs, interacted with early life adversity to predict variation in breastfeeding duration (overall
